Welcome to the newest Saint, Khan Haretuku.

Otiman · Post: # 484868Post **Otiman** » Thu 01 Nov 2007 7:34am

Khan Haretuku, no relation to the Star Trek villain, or the mongolian ruler, Ghengis Khan, or even the Coleridge poem Kubla Khan, is the newest member of the St. Kilda Football Club after being listed through the Scholarship program.

Other than being relatively large in stature, and being from NSW, i've no idea of anything else about him. Welcome, Khan.

Edit: Apologies to Imran for forgetting him.

But is he related to the Harajuku district of Tokyo, and does he wear all those way out Japanese subculture gear?

Private profiles should be mandatory, especially for people who will be in the public eye like new football recruits. That said, his profile actually reads pretty well compared to most people his age

I propose the nickname of Imran for him.

198 now. Was 196 a ruler a year back...

So eventually lets hope he can be above 200cm...

Unforgiven · Thu 01 Nov 2007 10:24am

Yesssss! This is very good news, he looked pretty promising last year during the pre season and what a monster back then. Has legs like tree trunks, and built like a brick ****house. Anyone know how he went this year with his team?

borderbarry · Thu 01 Nov 2007 10:41am

We have had a few non-Australian born players, our premiership ruckman Brian Mynott for one.
In any case Khan was born in Sydney. His dad has Maori blood.

Add Swimming and Cricket to this boys achievments .... http://www.marist.pagewood.syd.catholic ... Report.htm

Congratulations to Josh Scott, Aaron Banfield, Patrick McFadyen and Khan Haretuku on achieving a gold medal at the NSW CCC Swimming Carnival.

A Grade Cricket Report â€“ Spare Round Pagewood Vs Wahroonga

Khan and Liam were once again accurate and consistent and finished with figures of 3/9 and 1/12 respectively.

After watching a slow run rate and a procession of wickets fall, Khan took to the bowling and put on an unbeaten 76 runs with numerous shots flying to and over the boundary.

I can see both worked under their married names, Messrs Mental and Spaz.

Wonder why the parents used the same first name?

In some cultures, Cowboy, the family name precedes the first name.

Saints sign second scholarship player
The St Kilda Football Club is pleased to advise that 16 year old Khan Haretuku from the University of NSW/Eastern Suburbs Club in Sydney has signed with the St Kilda Football Club under the new AFL (NSW/ACT) Scholarship Program. Khan was born in Sydney and has New Zealand parents (Tau and Jenny) and is in Year 11 at Marist College in Pagewood. He is a convert from Rugby League and has only played Aussie Rules for the last three years. St Kilda's Sydney representative Danny Ryan and Recruiting Manager John Beveridge have followed Khan's development in recent times and watched him play in the recent NSW Talent Camp held at Riverview College in Sydney.

I think thats spelt Chaka, fairly sure Chaka was a Massai or Zulu chief of some fame as well.

OK, so I'm sad he isn't from my second fave country, Japan, but Maori was my next best. Maori sportsmen are by and large super strong and very good (judging by the Union and League reps).
